Arrow dettering cloak. Legal?

(1/2) > >>

LeShinobi:
Is an arrow-dettering cloak legal for use against archers?

Vestial:
no, it states in the MoA that anything other than a shield than impedes an arrow's path is considered a hit if it would have made a hit otherwise. Give me a sec to find the specific section

EDIT

4.5.3.6 - If an arrow is deflected, even minutely, it is considered to have hit.

4.5.3.8 - To better simulate the speed and power of real arrows in flight, the only things which can stop arrows are shields or Dagorhir-legal head armor such as a helmet or coif. Arrows cannot be caught, blocked, deflected, or knocked out of the air by anything else, including hands, feet, weapons, or other equipment. If an arrow is blocked intentionally with anything other than a body part, shield, or head armor, the fighter doing the blocking is dead automatically.

<<<<No

Alric:
In addition, this rule:

4.10.2 - Strikes ignore sheathed weapons (i.e., one that is attached/hanging from one's belt or over one's back) or any other worn object, including baggy clothing such as cloaks. If an attack would have made legal contact with a fighter had the object been absent, then it should be counted as a hit. A weapon must be in a fighter's hand to intercept an attack.

I mean this very kindly, but this question suggest to me that you are very unfamiliar with the rules, and need to go back and read them through at least half dozen more times (ideally, a fighter should have them memorized, not word for word but well enough to answer any question about them without having to look up the answer). You can find them here: www.dagorhir.com/dagorhir/Rules.htm

(Welcome to the forums, and I'm sorry if I sound harsh, it's not my intent.)

Milo Baines:
No.
